OralDNA Tests Help Prevent Gum Disease

At our Knoxville dental office, we understand that your genes can have an impact on your gum health. That’s why we offeroralDNA testing to determine factors such as your susceptibility to gum disease. If you are already suffering from gum disease, oralDNA testing can also help us in other ways. These tests provide invaluable information about the strain of bacteria in your mouth so that we can prescribe the right medication for your specific form of gum disease. This is especially helpful for patients who have responded well to previous gum disease treatments.
